Power FC/Power Excel Tuning in Arizona? WHERE?

I talked to a few shops, some of which I've done a lot of business with.

1.) APEX Motorsports in Tempe does not tune.
2.) Kent at Intense said they no longet do Power FC tuning, only HKS and AEM.
3.) XS Engineering in Los Angeles is booked until May, as well as Intense.

I read up about a place called Vivid racing in Tempe, looks like they may dyno tune EVOs using a POWER FC, but I am not sure if they can do the same with an FD... I will not know until Monday.

Does anyone in AZ have access to dyno tune a FD with a FD?

I have access to a wideband and a datalogit, just need someone with some tuning experience and/or a dyno. Usually runs around $150/h at most places... just need to find a shop or someone that knows what the hell they're doing.

You might want to try Signal Auto in Torrance Souther CA. http://signalauto.com/ I think they do power excel tuning.

I know there are tons of shops in CA that do it, SP engineering, XS Engineering, etc. Just trying to find one while I am in AZ so I don't have to drive the car while its not properly tuned.

I wouldn't trust Vivid with a rotary. A subaru maybe....

Try the Azrx7.com page.
We kinda lack Rotary shops that have a dyno in them.

I called Dynocomp and they refered me to someone who used to work there, but now tunes on his own. I called that guy but never got ahold of him.

How come no one wants to tune this car? Is it the PFC or the fact that it's a rotary?

Looks like my car will be tuned at the Kan session in CA on August 5th or whatever. I also bought a datalogit and I will be doing some tuning (the vacuum maps mainly) myself cause I have a wideband.

Well, if it makes you feel better, I am slowly, very slowly tuning my single turbo fd with a datalogit and power fc. It is time consuming and you must be patient. At this rate, I should have mine tuned by 2007. I wish there was a shop that would do it here. Maybe I'll drive to Socal when it isn't 125F.
